Character Name: Kaminari Hatakeyama
Language: Japanese
Character Description:
> Personality: Friendly, welcoming, protective, energetic, and a tad bit eccentric
Ability Description: I'm asking for multiple kido names and one fighting style name.

Kido:

1. Personal Instant Shield:
It's an instant shield that can protect her and two others.

2. Large Prepared Shield:
Its a shield that can protect a large area and must be set up ahead of time.

3. Tracker:
Its a small mark that allows her to trace whoever she puts it on.

4. Tether:
Its a spell that connects her to another person so she can use her kido on them from a distance.

Character Name: Hagane Isamu
Language: Japanese
Translation Request: N/A
Character Description: I have a google doc with the character on hand, but I'll summarize things to the best of my ability. Simply speaking, Isamu is a man who can easily be summarized, at the very least in his day to day life, as someone who goes with the flow. Playful and flirtatious, rarely taking anything serious until the situation demands it. When the situation calls a more serious nature into action, that is where everything is shifted toward someone who is best described as an effortless and efficient warrior who will eliminate his enemy without pause. Little bit of Shunsui, little bit of some other peeps, if you want a TL;DR. Man takes life at his own pace, does hitman shit to make ends meat, and is commonly pretty chill until you force him to be otherwise.
Ability Description: Okay, so I tried to come up with my own sword schmovements, but since I got fun aspirations for this character(in spiritual intention at least), I sort of wanted to rely on the experts who make really cool martial art name/anime shit. I got a few points I wrote down to help get across what I'd like with the naming process and a descriptor - a natural ability description - to help.

Martial Prowess: Descending from a household housing several warriors who excel at the art of swordsmanship, Isamu is a prodigy with the blade. There are certainly several other weapons he can wield effortlessly and with relative ease if he studied hard enough, but none of them reach the sheer level of artistry displayed when he wields a blade.

There are often times where this man will rarely take anything serious, but one undeniable truth remains. His swordsmanship is his symbol of honor, his symbol of the effort he poured in day in and day out to reach the realm of martial prowess that is only spoken of in myth and legend. Whether executing an array of strikes or a single stroke, it is rare to see any technique employed in acts of impatience. Each swing of his blade is always executed with the intent of achieving the ideal result. A single cut that can kill his enemy.

One sword gives rise to ten thousand, ten thousand gives rise to one. He is far from foolish to assume a single stroke can subdue any opponent, of course - let alone the the vast number of spiritual entities that define the realms, and he is almost assuredly prepared to implement as many cuts, as many techniques, and as many stances as possible to ensure with utmost certainty that he reaches the intended result. In battle, his style can commonly be described as “one who seamlessly shifts from step to step - moving gracefully as he does ominously - like a predator in the wild biding its time until the moment is at hand. When he strikes, it is as if he is attacking with the force of lightning behind his swing, thunderously cleaving through those who lie in the path of his steel.” Grace and might, seamless fluidity and ruthless aggression. He is a combatant who thrives in the art of killing.

Alright, if you willingly went through all of that, thank you kindly. Basically, I wanted a name that sort of represented this idea of a blade striking with the force of a thousand behind it. Where one swings feels like your feeling the weight of multiple behind every stroke of the blade. I could have probably said that, to be fair, but I wanted to offer any tool to help get the point across, ya know? Also, if it's not being too greedy, I also kind of wanted a whole thing where he had like name blankets denoting techniques. Not technique names but like, I guess the best example is Shishiyuki, Murasaki, and Fuuen? Cool title names for the technique expression, if that descriptor is makes sense enough.

Techniques denoting redirection: Redirecting the opponent's attack with counters, turning their attacks against them to transition into his own.
Techniques denoting Misdirection: Misdirecting enemy attacks, altering or throwing them off course with his blade. Basically, offense and defense working together to do cool things with the blade.
Application Link: I have a google doc but I need to clean it up and put it on its own separate document file...

Character Name: Hana Aoyama
Language: Japanese
Translation Request: N/A
Character Description: Hana is meant to become a woman who represents the elegant and graceful side of femininity, opposite to her aggressive and more masculine counter parts. Words like grace, patience, dainty, and gentle. Princess, queen, and thoughtful also work. These are all things she wants to become and therefore is finally striving for.
Ability Description: Her zanpakuto theme is set around wind. I'm wanting a name for her actual zanpakuto and then her first known ability, which is just a powerful gust of wind that blows things away, may stir up things like dirt, snow, or sand. (If you need anything more, let me know)

You can ignore this one until she sees quite a bit of progression given it would be for her future Shikai.

Character Name: Saisei Sato
Language: Japanese
Translation Request:

The Return Of A King

Of course, as someone who isn't capable of translating accurately, I'd appreciate it if you took liberties with the translation so it both makes sense and read well. The point of it being translated to Japanese is that his nationality, aside from Sugiura, is Japanese. I'd like to thematically keep his naming scheme to Japanese because of that.
Character Description: Not much to say about Saisei when it comes to his character. Though he isn't as happy-go-lucky as he used to be growing up, he still maintains his general air of kindness and respect for others. With that being the case, rather than being geared towards a Nobility-focus, a majority of his skill-set is more meant to represent a King protecting his people. Specifically, Earth as a whole.
Ability Description: The Return Of A King is meant to be the name of his Letz Stil. When entering Letz Stil, Saisei doesn't obtain any real powers that are unlocked via the form, rather it is entirely meant to amplify his current powerset and abilities.

Character Name: Leona Sheridan
Language: Japanese
Translation Request: I would like help in coming up with a good name for Leona's Zankaputo spirit. I currently have it as a translation of "Violent Wind", but I would like something more along the lines of "Aggressive Wind" or "Combative Wind" since Leona is not a malicious sort, just eager for either a sparring match or an actual fight. Leona's Shikai and Bankai abilities will be wind-themed, so I would like to use an appropriate wind-themed name for the Zankaputo. I will also accept suggestions outside of the two I am specifically requesting.

If I may do so, I would also like help with a name for a Hakuda fighting style and techniques based around a lion theme with wind as a supporting element.
Character Description: Leona will be a member of the Fourth Division and has a fondness for combat that is probably unhealthy in more ways than one. Like her big cat namesake, she is aggressive in battle and focuses on a balance of speed and power if possible. She is not malicious in any way, but fighting gives her a serious rush and I would like for her Zankaputo spirit's name to reflect that.
Ability Description: I would like for the name of Leona's style of Hakuda and the names of the abilities to be centered around her big cat namesake, ex. Lion's Tail Sweep for a sweep kick, Lion's Fist for a straight punch, etc. The style will be focused around a balance of single powerful strikes and rapid-fire flurries of punches and kicks... her more powerful abilities will have Wind as a supporting element such as a spinning kick (like a tornado kick), jump kick, and a particularly powerful straight punch.

I'm currently trying to figure out the correct way to say "reflect upon the lake" as the command and the name iam trying to translate is "tears of heaven". The command is meant to represent the stars/rain but I'm not sure about the rain part. The tears of heaven being the blade name refers to the stars or rain again. The zanpakuto is a kido type that uses any reflective surface to activate its ability, whenever both combatants are reflected if the zanpakuto passes through the enemies reflection they would be cut by it. The second ability is to reflect kido/elemental attacks using the blades mirror like surface. The restriction being that it can't reflect it directly backwards only at angles. Where ever the reflected attack lands creates a reflective surface making the zanpakuto weak to purely melee based zanpakuto. The shikai motif is the moon and stars, where as the bankai may be oriented around the sun making the reflections bright and potentially burning to those they are reflected at. Any assistance would be fantastic. Hopefully I will be forging this wakazashi after I've figured it's name and look.
